Re: bed sheets

I change my sheets once a week in winter and sometimes twice a week in summer. I do not iron sheets. I try to fold them neatly. I have never got the hang of folding the bottom fitted sheet. If there were a college course in fitted sheet folding, I would be first to entrol. How can you be anal compulsive and not be able to fold fitted sheets into neat squares or rectangles? It is a burden I must bear.

Re: bed sheets

Once a week.

I saw this guy on Oprah (I don't watch her often... usually I'm at work) but there was this guy there talking about the importance of cleanliness and they showed what lives in your sheets after one week of sleeping and it is absolutely disgusting.

If you haven't washed your sheets in a while, go wash them now with bleach in the hottest water possible... *shudders*

Glad to know I'm not the only one who can't fold a fitted sheet. My Mom showed me a thousand times. She could make them look like they just came out of the package. I guess that's why I usually change the sheets on laundry day so they can go right back on the bed.

Re: bed sheets

Iron? Isn't that a food supplement?

And let's just say I'm getting better at changing my sheets more frequently after all the news stories of bed bugs. I never thought there really were such things.

The world never changes if you're forever "minding my own business".The mindset that no one knows you're gay because you haven't told them,
is like the dog that thinks you don't see him stealing the steak because he avoids your glance. Staying in the closet is like continuing to sit in the back of the bus. It's accepting that it's wrong to be who you are.

Its nice to know others use flannel sheets year round, I do to. I think they feel warmer in the winter, and in summer just right for a cover!! I don't change my sheets as often as I should, probably every few weeks, since I have to go some place to do laundry, I don't like to pay the extra to do the sheets. The last time thye needed changed, I just went and bought some new ones. Not flannel, but has potential to be comfey!!

Oh, but he's so cuuuuuuuute!

I change my sheets maybe once a month... well, I notice they need changing about once a month, and then I keep putting it off as long as I can, which is usually until the next weekend but can be up to another month.

For the last ten years, I've only had one set of sheets for my bed, so when my sheets get dirty, I have to wash them before I can make the bed up again. But I just bought a new set of sheets (they're really pretty, too... a color called Starfield Blue), so I can actually change the sheets rather than taking them off and washing them and putting them back on.

This will probably bring my average down to every two or three weeks. Honestly, I don't think they need it more than that... there's no sweating or jizzing or drooling or santorum going on in my bed, so it's not that big a deal.

Re: bed sheets

I don't have sheets, I have a blanket below and above me, I've never liked sheets. At work they make us change them and wash them every Saturday morning. I change my bedding stuff though once they start to kinda smell or the dog hair gets too thick... lol

Re: bed sheets

Where did you guys find out they should be washed? Is this an old wives tale? When I got them a few years ago I didn't see anything on the label indicating such a requirement. Do you think I could sue the manufacturer?
So how do you take them off the bed anyway? They appear to be stuck.
